This Is Why DC Is Losing: Man Of Steel Likely To Be DC’s ONLY Film For Three Years

Seriously?

First off DC/Warners: give up on this stupid ‘Justice League’ film for a couple of years… you can’t even get a second character film out without calling in Christopher Nolan to help get the Superman flick going. You can’t make a Justice League film without doing the stand alone films first: DON’T THINK YOU CAN.

The only reason Avengers worked is because they didn’t try to introduce each character, they did that in the stand-alone films. Justice League is a STUPID idea. Get over it.

Focus on getting a few good films out and let the dust settle after Chris Nolan walks away from Batman. Okay?

The Flash? Wonder Woman? A couple of dozen other characters that have possibilities?

Marvel is kicking your ass and have already got three films in the pipeline (or already filming in the case of Iron Man 3) not to mention a half dozen films to your 2.5 (So many people were disappointed in Green Lantern you can’t count it completely) and are still moving ahead.

What’s wrong? Where’s the Shazam film? Holy Moly, William Goldman wrote it! Have him make a polish run on the script and make that!

DC is killing itself over and over again. Just get another good film going, please??

The unparalleled success of this summer’s Marvel movie The Avengers, coupled with the interest in Christopher Nolan’s final Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, has shined a bright spotlight on DC Entertainment, a division of Warner Bros. If Marvel can make billions with second tier superheros like Iron Man and Thor, why hasn’t DC done the same thing?

They’re trying. The Internet rejoiced when Warner Bros. announced they were finally pushing ahead with their big superhero team up film, Justice League. At the same time writers were revealed to be working on a Wonder Woman movie and we’ve all heard about long rumored films featuring The Flash, Shazam and others.

Still, though things are in motion, the only DC character with a movie in production – or scheduled at all – is Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, a film which will have its coming out party at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend. According to sources, that’ll likely be the only DC movie for upwards of three years as the company tries to line everything up. Warner Bros. film group President Jeff Robinov revealed, “”My hope is that over the next month or so we’ll be ready to lay out the plan for the next DC movies” and they’re already doing that in video games, comics and more.

One that seems to be the most glaring, though, is that Marvel allowed almost all of their A-List heroes – Spider-Man, The X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc. – go to other studios, a decision the company regrets. DC has everyone – Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman – and can do whatever they want. But outside of Christopher Nolan’s films – the three Batman movies and Man of Steel, which he’s producing – nothing has quite come together.
